Scenic Walk to Nijubashi Bridge

It has been said that Nijubashi Bridge is "the most photographed scene in Japan". I almost didn't even visit the bridge but I'm really, really glad Shah dragged me over there, because (1) the bridge does look pretty magnific, and (2) the walk to the bridge from the train station offered some pretty gorgeous views.

It all turned out fine in the end since we haven't forgotten that we're tourists too, and we just had to have a fellow tourist took one cheesy (but hopefully sweet) touristy-couple photo ourselves, with the bridge as our backdrop:
